Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski not expected to play vs. Jets

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is expected to miss his second consecutive game Sunday as he continues to recover from what the team is calling a chest injury, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini on Wednesday.

Sources told ESPN that the Patriots' coaching staff is prepping the offense to be without Gronkowski against the Jets. His absence again leaves Martellus Bennett, who has 39 catches for 518 yards and four touchdowns this season, and Matt Lengel as the two available tight ends on the roster.
